This game doesn't look very good

[FragPunk Pro]

a little too political for me and 2007 graphics.
The reviews also kinda give it a bad rap. I will avoid this and pick up something else.

The OP is stating nonsense:

Graphics Quality: Describing Zephon's visuals as reminiscent of 2007 is a stretch. While the game leans into a stylized, dystopian aesthetic that some might perceive as less flashy than hyper-modern titles, it employs a 3D graphical presentation with distinctive design choices meant to emphasize the harsh, post-apocalyptic world. Reviews generally praise its atmospheric look and world-building, comparing it more favorably with previous entries like Warhammer 40,000: Gladius. The intention behind the visual style was clearly to evoke immersion in a desolate and hostile Earth, focusing more on depth than sheer graphical fidelity​.

Political Themes: As for politics, Zephon reflects the challenges of rebuilding human civilization in a broken world filled with both existential and ideological threats. While elements of governance and factional interaction may introduce story-driven political themes, this aspect is rooted in its 4X strategy framework. Proxy Studios' games traditionally emphasize narrative-driven choices and strategic diplomacy, offering players options in shaping alliances or rivalries based on player agency, not heavy-handed political messaging​.

Early Reviews: initial reviews offer positive takes, the game's replayability, complex tactical options, and narrative layers have drawn interest among strategy enthusiasts. The multiplayer aspect and Proxy Studios’ reputation for deep, replayable strategy games bolster its appeal. Previous titles like Gladius gained cult followings despite initial skepticism, and similar potential is evident here​.

Um, this game is bad lol

[Maarschalk]

The statement "Um, this game is bad lol" doesn't substantively address the complexity of Zephon. Dismissing it without reason ignores key aspects that make this game unique and worthy of attention:

Deep Strategy Mechanics: Zephon is more than a simple 4X title. It integrates a strong mix of tactical turn-based combat, resource management, and dynamic faction interactions in a richly designed post-apocalyptic world. Proxy Studios has a history of developing deep strategy games with solid replayability, as evidenced by the enduring popularity of Warhammer 40,000: Gladius. Dismissing such depth with "bad" misses this point entirely​.

Narrative Complexity and Immersion: Unlike many games in its genre, Zephon incorporates branching narratives, world-building elements, and player-driven decision-making that go beyond basic strategy gameplay. The game actively rewards players who engage with its layers, creating memorable experiences across different playthroughs​ .

Positive Reception Among Strategy Fans: While early impressions may be mixed, many strategy enthusiasts have noted the game's creative direction, potential for replayability, and intriguing thematic twists as standout features. Comparing it unfavorably without exploring such aspects does a disservice to what it offers. Criticism should be based on engagement, not shallow dismissal​.

In short, Zephon deserves more considered critique than a dismissive "bad" claim. It appeals to those who enjoy nuanced, strategic gameplay with an emphasis on storytelling and deep world-building.

Zephon seems quite straightforward rather than complex.
I just noticed the up above is AI slop, nvm

All the reviews I've seen on YouTube are positive to very positive. The Scarlet Seekers review being one example.

[Badgag]

Splattercat has played Zephon a bit. I liked what I saw. He said: Terminator-Style Post Apocalyptic Wasteland Strategy. He's not that wrong, even if he's not the classic 4x player.

They're all pretty well known niche reviewers, so no, that's not it.

Please link all the bad reviews you have found?

This troll doesnt look very good either.

Low effort oneliners. Terrible sense of humor. I will avoid this and play the game instead.

ok but you are a furry what does it matter

[Senethro]

I disagree. This is practically the most energy and effort efficient trolling to be done, and the timing is good too.

[Unembellished Genius]

Man do I feel sorry for you. I would hate to see politics in everything. That level of brainwashing is hard to break out of. Good luck with your affliction.
